He doesn't seem old enough to play Cable (based on the few comics I have seen), but Brolan does amazing work.

I thought the scarred up bad dude from Avatar would have been a better pick. My guess is that since he's tied up with Avatar sequels 2 though 27, all being filmed at the exact same time, he won't be available for Deadpool 2. Its a long flight to Pandora.

I had to check IMDB because I thought his character died in Avatar, but you're right, he is going to be in all 4 of them. I doubt this is the reason why he didn't get casted though. He wanted the role, fans wanted him to have the role, but Marvel never said they wanted him for it.

Very true, was just my thought on why he wouldn't have been available. I'm sure it will take a long time to film 4 movies at the exact same time. Granted, Deadpool universe is tied to the X-men universe and not the MCU. I just don't know why a studio would double dip an actor like that. Brolin is great actor, do not get me wrong. He was so convincing as the older brother on Goonies. But I would think that his role as Thanos in the Avengers movies would take up a lot of time. I'm pretty sure they want to put out Deadpool 2 soon, if it doesn't have a date already.

What would have been funny is that they cast Hugh Jackman as Cable. They never would have but would have been fun to watch Ryan and Hugh in a movie together.
